We're taking our first steps into part 1 of The Running Man. Not only is it our one year anniversary but it's our first Patreon selection from Ka-Tel Member, Phil Thesen! Join us as we discuss the correlations between The Running Man and The Long Walk in Bachman's world, Josh reveals his headcanon casting for Ben Richards, the foothold that overt racism has in this dystopia, whether this book is science fiction vs action/adventure, one of the most intensely claustrophobic scenes ever written, and we are introduced to the larger than life situation that opens Ben's eyes. Come on down! You're the next contestant on Episode 28, “Slamming Bud Lights".
